There is actually Thai food in Wisconsin?!?! Ok McHenry locals dont get offended, but you guys are really close to the border! :) I was actually surprised to find a Thai joint when I was visiting a friend out here. I was really excited thinking I might have found a diamond in a piece of cheese out here. Haha..I know kinda Cheezy! LOL Watch out im on a roll! Anyways, ordered take out here since it was almost time to close. Ordered the Pad See Ew w/ chicken and asked for it to be spicy. Had to make my meal exciting bc we all know PSE never has a kick! Well I was very happy to see when I opened my to go container is that they either used a crushed red pepper or a chili paste to give it the heat. I felt generous so thats why they got a 4 or I would have given a 3.5 if it was possible. But some Thai places just try to use fresh jalepenos which tends to overpower the flavor of the food, also feel that is the cheaper route. I do have to say this place definitely beat the standards that I put it at. Its not very often that I joureny out to McHenry but if I do I would def come here again for some decent Thai food. I was able to get dinner (last night) and lunch (today) out of this one meal. read more

If you're looking for thai in the far north suburbs, this unassuming place is tucked away in the little town of McHenry. All the vegetables seem especially fresh and I can't get enough of the vegetable soup! read more

This is THE place to go for Thai food! The ambiance is wonderful and the food and service is top notch. They make a great martini too! Try the appetizer sampler platter as you get alarge platter of many delicious appetizers for a great price. I love the curry dishes and the noodles too! It's our favorite place to go in McHenry. read more

I think it's the best Asian food in McHenry. High quality ingredients, great service, and nice selection on the menu.

Great mix of original and traditional Thai dishes. Love the red snapper and the seafood pineapple fried rice

I absolutely love coming here! Best Pad Thai. Also the Mama Tofu dish is excellent. For such a small town, Green Pea Pod offers a wonderful experience in authentic Thai. read more

Drunken spaghetti and Pad Thai are delic! You can taste the quality! One of my favorite restaurants in McHenry!

Best Thai food we've ever had. Absolutely consistent and amazing, every time.

Chicken pad thi extra chicken. The bomb. Seriously one of my favorite dishes on the planet and they do it better then anyone!!

Been in town for work the past 2 months, this place is great! I go every chance I get. Interesting beer, wine, cocktails, and alcohol coffee drinks. Do yourself a favor and order the Pad Thai, Crab Rangoon, or Curry dish they are Excellent read more

This place is our favorite restaurant in the area! I think better than alot of thai places in Chicago. Everything here is really fresh, and the vegetable dishes have a large variety of real, fresh veggies-- unheard of around here. Service is good, and the place is spotlessly clean. Everything we have tried on the menu has been fantastic. Their tofu dishes are awesome, my meat eating family will usually order tofu here, cuz it is so good. Only wish they were open on Monday!! read more

The best thai in the area. Would drive out of my way to have dinner here versus other thai restaurants in the chicago burbs. Always good service. Good atmosphere. Decent prices. I have never had anything here that I do not love. My mouth is watering just thinking about their pad see ew! read more

I've dined in and carried out and have never been disappointed. Some of the special appetizers can be miniscule, but that would be my only complaint. Our favorites include Drunken Spaghetti (nice and hot and very flavorful); Garlic & Pepper with your choice of meat/tofu stir-fried with Thai herbs, garlic and pepper sauce, served with steamed assorted vegetables; Pad Woonsen with delicate cellophane noodles; nice basil fried rice; reliable satay and dumplings. GP also offers some unusual dishes such a Halibut with 3 flavors and basil duck. OK wine by the glass and not too expensive. Better than Crystal Lake Thai restaurants. And cheaper! read more

My wife and I have been going here for a long time; there food is excellent and quick. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the staff is always very friendly. All their dishes are fresh and very tasty. read more

My fiance and I have very different palates. He LOVES Asian food and I've always been pretty "meh" about it. We had a date night a while back and he wanted Chinese and I wanted sushi. Thai seemed like a good compromis for some reason. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, this place is awesome. We went the one time and I've been back every week or so since. The pad thai is out of this world. My mouth is watering as I write this. Don't listen to anyone who talks about slow-ish service. Go get some pad thai this instant. With chicken. Right now. read more

Best Thai around IMO. I love this place, its casual, easy to park, they can serve Gluten Free too. I cant even begin to think of what to reccomend. Pad Thai, Lard Nar, Pot Stickers are to die for! Drunken Spahghetti, Scallops in Chili Paste. just all around easy to be at, and easy on the budget too! very reasonable price wise. read more

LOVE this place! I've eaten there, done carry out, and had them deliver. Every time it's delish. The people who work there are very friendly and the restaurant is always clean. I never had Thai food before Green Peapod, now I'm hooked. read more

We have been going here for years and the food never disappoints. It is a family business, which I love, and we were even seated by the young daughter. It is very cute since she can't be more then 9 years old! Service is great, and food comes fast. read more

Every year, my son and I have a tradition of going out to dinner on the first day of school where he tells me all about his day. The rule is, we have to go to a restaurant that we've never been to. This year we lucked out and tried Green Peapod.... SOOO GOOD! I love Thai food and haven't really found a place I like since moving here three years ago and couldn't be happier that we found this place! This was my sons first Thai experience and he loved it too! We will be back many more times. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Horrible service!!! 15 mins before we r even greeted by the waitress. I know it's not their problem I have two small children, but nearly impossible to eat here if you have children that are hungry. We ordered drinks and food at the same time. 10 mins later finally our drinks. Our food doesn't come for 30 more mins. Seriously!!!! Food is very good and we enjoy it. But the young girls that work there are awful at being servers! Not attentive and didn't once ask us how our food was. Messed up our bill and charged someone else's meal on our credit card. Overall from start to finish we were there for 2 hrs and 20 mins! Totally ridiculous!!! I will only return for take out. They need an entire new wait staff! read more

This place has great food, but it comes at a high price. I was going to order fried rice to go nothing else and i was picking it up it was $20.00. When my husband told me that i canceled the order $20 dollars for rice, you have to be kidding me. read more

I love this place! They have some of the best Thai food around. The customer service on the other hand has lately been lacking. I had just called to place an order for delivery, and having ordered for delivery numerous times I know this can sometimes take a while. When I asked how long it would be for a delivery order the employees response was "a very long time" in a rude tone, as though I was an inconvenience to her. I responded with "so over an hour?" To which she responded, again rudely, "yes a very long time!" I said "ok then I guess never mind?" kind of taken a back at the way she was speaking to me, and she just hung up without another word. Again the food here is fantastic I have never had a bad experience with it, but I don't appreciate feeling like I have been an inconvenience by calling for a delivery order! read more

Waited 2 hours for delivery when I was told it would be here "within an hour." I called twice, the first time being told it hadn't even left yet but then after I said it has been an hour and a half, all of a sudden they said, "oh, it actually did go out already." After 2 hours, I called again and was told they were sorry and that the owner would call me back later when they weren't busy. Finally got our food after 2 hours, that was Luke warm at best. The owner called us and had multiple excuses - my favorite was that we live too far. She offered us a free appetizer for next time. Gee, thanks. Awful. read more

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. The crab Rangoon and pad Thai were amazing and highly recommended. The service was quick and friendly and the restaurant was clean. read more

Very good drunken spaghetti, spring rolls and garlic chicken.

The service is great but the food not so great. The pad thai is good but the rest I really didnt like.

We sought out the Green Peapod because of the the reviews from yelp. They were all absolutely right, this place has outstanding cuisine. We tried a little of everything, pot stickers, crabragoon, fried rice soup, for dinner scallops in a chile sauce, green apple salad with cashews and greens, dessert sticky rice with mangoes. A definite must try. read more

Great find in northwest suburbs. The soups are outstanding, especially the chicken coconut. Service was helpful in selecting from the menu. Perfect location by the Green Street entrance to the riverwalk and movie theater. read more

Absolutely the best tai food I have had, everything is so fresh and tasty. I feel so lucky to be this close to distinctive dining. Try anything on the menu, you will not be dissappointed. The drunken spagetti is my personal favorite. I have never been disappointed. Friendly waite staff. I now go here often, bring clients, friends, family. Cant miss. read more

Order the drunken spaghetti and ask for it to be extra spicy. I could eat here 7 days a week. Love sitting on the patio during the summer. Eat here!!! read more

Just sorda upset. If your ordering on-line with delivery, their website prices are not what the prices are - add 2.00 per item. (for the most part). I was told to go to Yelp which he said had their menu... nope nothing listed. Cant believe I paid almost 20 bucks for lunch. Just way too expensive for what you get. $6.95 for 6 shrimp dumplings the size of a quarter. Just not worth it and the food wasn't that great. I'll go elsewhere... read more

Worst part about this place is it is family owned so when they go on vacation they close down and there closed on Monday's. I could eat there beef pad-tie every day. All around great place to eat. read more

I love Green Peapod. They alway remember us even though we only go there about 4 times a year. They have great cocktails. I always get one that has champagne and midori that comes in a really cute flute with a rounded bulb shaped bottom that they sink a Marciano cherry in. It's delicious and adorable. With the green and red it looks like it came from a Doctor Suess book. The food is delicious too. You can never go wrong with any of their duck dishes. Rather than small pieces of duck, you get a whole half of deboned duck, crispy skin and all with delicious sauces and an abundance of fresh vegtables. The garlic scallops are great too! You get 8 large sea scallops topped with a spicy garlic paste and a beautiful arrangement of peapods and other veggies. The chicken satay appetizer is a great starter. It's the largest portion I've ever seen. They also have a small reasonably priced wine list that pairs well with their menu. read more

I have generally enjoyed the food when dining at the restaurant, however, delivery food always disappoints. Pad Woon sen's noodles were coagulated into one ginormous tough disc; chili fried rice had neither a lick of chili nor a bean sprout, pea or egg in site but rather a few half inch pieces of green bean and a whole lotta oil; do not be tempted to order "shrimp dumplings" for $6.95 - the six shu mai type dumplings check in at the size of a man's thumbnail and I swear I've seen these little guys frozen at a grocery store for about $4 for a dozen. In addition to being microscopic and overpriced, there wasn't a hint of shrimp flavor in them. I felt I completely wasted $50 (including a nice tip for the delivery person) on sub par food and will never order again. Delivery was speedy so I can't attribute these problems to the food sitting and steaming in a car - it was just badly prepared, flavorless and overpriced for the low quality. read more

The Green Peapod is a Thai restaurant that is clean, elegant and has great food. The atmosphere of this restaurant is very soothing. It is a great place to bring a first date considering the atmosphere is quiet and easy to accommodate your well-being. Another great factor is that it is reasonably priced. My favorite time to go is for a lunch date because you receive an appetizing side salad before you receive your main course which you can choose the spiciness of. The best part of the lunch menu is that it is half the price of the dinner menu and about the same amount of food. You can choose a mild sauce, a medium sauce, or a really hot sauce depending on your likability. I would highly recommend the egg rolls that come as an appetizer. All of the food that is served in this restaurant is served at perfect timing. The wait staff gives you just enough time to finish your entree and the next is brought out right after. One of my favorite facts about this restaurant is that the Waiters and Waitresses don't bother you during your meal. To me, having someone over my shoulder every five minutes is really obnoxious. They fill your water and leave you alone unless you are in need of them. I love that. Well I could probably keep going on, but I would say it's up to you to be the judge of this restaurant. Have Fun! read more
